Decent Alternative Audio Setup? PC/PS3/TV

[angryrat]

I'm searching around for ideas on a decent way to set up my audio for my PC, PS3, AT&T U-verse Cable Box.

Right now I have a 2.1 computer speaker setup that only has a single 3.5mm input jack.
I am looking at $30 in necessary cabling/splitters to accommodate all 3 input devices. Kind of seems like a waste.

I wanted to know what alternative methods there might be to buying a bunch of splitters (which kind of scare me).

Are there any recommended setups out there that aren't too expensive? (i.e. - a different 2.1 speaker system with lots of inputs, etc) I'm not looking for anything fancy. Just decent stereo sound from all three devices.

Thanks!

Used receiver and bookshelf speakers.

Thanks, it's definitely an option, I guess. Was hoping to see how others are setup.

I've used splitters without issue for PC+360 to share both monitor and speakers. When I have the PC running, I perfer to connect the console to the line-in on the PC to have a finer volume control, or to quickly mute the audio If I want to talk to someone on ventrilo. If you don't plan on running the PC all the time, then you'd have to use splitters at the speakers instead.

Thanks PK, that's great advice. As of now, I will probably run the splitters from the speaker side of things. Before dropping down $30 on amazon for the splitters and cables, I wanted to make sure it was the best option.

check monoprice, they can sometimes beat amazon prices. They pound you on shipping though.
